On the Desert Island

On the Desert Island is a poignant and evocative work, which will transport you to a location beyond the bounds of the walls of the Stuart Hall Library towards a less tangible, more mutable space, guided by the interplay of the narrator's poetic and practical instructions, echoes of Stuart's distinctive voice, and the cadence of the music, you will become immersed in Ting-Ting Cheng's quest - committed to the search amongst the pages of the beautifully altered and annotated books, the subtlety and pace of this wayfinding is deceptive, what Ting has accomplished through this new work is an accessible route into the complex issues of place and identity in Britain and across the diaspora"As long as there is a definition something doesn't fit in" Ting-Ting Cheng
